I'm takin' a whack at these right now.

I make the compound butter this morning, in the food processor. Kinda formed it into a log, put it in the fridge for a few hours.

mise en place:


All buttered up - pre-smush:


Post-smush - Bacon wrapped:


Ready for the Smoker!

FLB, You are a cardiologists dream come true. But it looks freakin' goooood. :D ;)

[FLBentRider]

Yeah, and it is starting to smell pretty good on my patio!

Here is the recipie I am more or less following:
http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=7288.0

I am using 6 pucks of Hickory , OBS temo slider all the way to the right, vent wide open. When the pucks are done, in about 30 minutes, I am going to put them under the broiler for a few minutes on each side to crisp up.

Gonna serve with salad and Fresh Corn on the Cob.

After the Broiler - ready to serve!


They were delicious!

Looks like some high temp screens you got there under the bird. 

[FLBentRider]

Good eye, Gizmo.

I just received them this week. I've used them for almonds and this chicken.

[Gizmo]

Are those from Begolf?

[FLBentRider]

Roger that, Gizmo.

FLBent...glad you liked them! I made them on Friday for some friends and tried a couple with some finely (very finely) diced chilli peppers that we're growing in the yard and mixed it in a little of the butter mixture...packed a little bit of a punch but not bad!! Flagged them with red toothpicks so they had a choice...:)
